Re: shooting fireworks from up high
hi. use your steadiest tripod, and a cable release. Ive done this only once and very happy with the result. do have a look at http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=149963 and keep enough film - I ran out of film that night !! choice of lenses would be nice too. do take shots of the skyline before the fireworks. I would suggest experimenting with exposures ranging from 1 to 10 seconds. Im sure you will have a nice time! bests. -Sridhar - Original Message - From: "Amita Guha" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2003 8:02 PM Subject: shooting fireworks from up high > Tomorrow night I'll be in an office on the 69th floor of the Empire > State Building shooting the fireworks on the East River.

RE: shooting fireworks from up high
You'll be shooting at f11 or f16 with 100 speed film. The buildings will probably expose fine (not blown out) with an exposure of several seconds. Lit windows will be blown, don't worry, have fun.
